EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the quaint and intricately decorated Bishop Bonner's Cottages in East Dereham, Norfolk, England, transport us back in time to the early 16th century. These charming thatched cottages, adorned with beautiful pargetting, once served as the residence of Bishop Edmund Bonner. Bonner, who was born around 1500, held the position of Bishop of London and later Bishop of Norwich from 1545 to 1551. He is infamously known for his cruel persecution of Protestants during Queen Mary I's reign, a period often referred to as the Marian Persecutions. The pargetted walls of these cottages are a testament to the rich history and craftsmanship of the region. Pargetting is a traditional English decorative technique that involves applying a mixture of lime, sand, and pigment to create intricate designs on the exterior walls of buildings. The intricate patterns and motifs on the cottages reflect the artistic and cultural significance of this time in English history. Despite their historical significance, these cottages have survived the test of time and continue to be a popular tourist attraction in East Dereham. The picturesque scene presented in this photograph invites us to imagine the lives of those who once lived within these walls and to reflect on the complex and often tumultuous history of religious change in England during the 16th century. The cottages serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that can still be found in the charming villages and towns of Norfolk and beyond.
